Transforming Stonehouse

For the next part of this module I must find a spot in Stonehouse and transform it in some way.

I have chosen the derelict Art Nouveau building 'The Dance Academy' nightclub on Union Street (previously known as 'New Palace Theatre' in 1898).

As I am currently very interested in projection and projection methods I would like to either project content onto the building (or small scale imitation) or model the building in After Effects and create a 3D immersive environment about this building with aspects of the building I could pull out like layers of a onion. Similar in principle to the way we have mapped Stonehouse.

This projection art by Abelardo Morell is amazing and really something I would like to do. I also thought about projecting the outside on the inside, if that makes sense? But obviously getting into the 'Dance Theatre' isn't going to be simple. So maybe not, but maybe in a room that I do have access to?
